About Máirín Duffy

Máirín is a principal interaction designer at Red Hat. She is passionate about software freedom and free & open source tools, particularly in the creative domain: her favorite application is Inkscape. You can read more from Máirín on her blog at blog.linuxgrrl.com.

I have a tiny nit, though – the four gears directly to the left of the upper rivet on the large gold band form a loop that wouldn’t work – if you tried to turn one, they would stick. Just the sort of thing that would drive me crazy.🙂

Or she could ask the infrastructure guys about a quota increase (which may be better in the long term)… the thing is, all those large .xcf files are volatile: sources for work-in-progress elements, they will be deleted at the next clean up of any hosting solution, so any link to them will turn 404 soon.

I wonder if there would be any benefit in using a version control system (a Trac instance on fedorahosted)? We would escape the space constraint on our personal space, have the history for reference but on the other hand raise the barrier to entry, which is not good (require command line “black magic” from “artsy” people who sometime struggle even with scp).

As I said on list, I like this better than the version with the “weird gear gadget thingy”: the really big gears are big enough so they do not draw the attention and you made them partly transparent, faded. For me, this is the best “steampunk” take s far.

We have to live with this fact: an image can’t be both completely blue *and* steampunk. Time for a choice…

Maybe this is our chance to try something we talked about for some time: a graphic set for a release where blue is a secondary color?
It was bad in my drawings, where the only color was gold/yellow but now the amount of blue may be good enough.
